"I like the side zip, but the front zip fits a little better. Not as much bunching in the crotch. I'm very petite. 5'4 and about 100lbs sz 22. I still really like these though bc the front zip doesn't come in khaki. Also, try fits tights if you are petite also."

"These breeches were way to big in the waste and gapped horribly in back. They were too short and very tight through the knee. Very disappointed, will be sending them back."

"I got these less than a month ago, and tried them on, and they were WAAAYY big! I measured myself and had someone else measure me multiple times, and ordered my exact size, but they were huge. I am planning on sending them back, but they seem like very nice breeches and they are very affordable, so if I can figure out my size, I would like to order them again."

"Bought these to have a new pair for a hunter/jumper show and was very surprised to see that not only are they good looking, but durable too! And an awesome bonus: they seem to repel dirt! If they get a little dirty, just brush the dirt off and it's gone. I wore them for about 7 hours, most of those hours spent in the saddle and they are very comfortable and while they are made of a thick(er) material they are very breathable (a great thing too, since it was in the 90s!). This was, however, my first (and last!) pair that are side-zip and I am NOT a fan of that detail! I found the clasps on my hip uncomfortable and actually bruised where they laid on my hip. To those you who aren't 'short (I'm 5'2"), the length of these breeches (in regular) fit me absolutely PERFECTLY! So..... they must run short. ;)"

"I got these a couple days ago after trying on a whole bunch of different breeches. I loved the way that they fit and didn't gap at the waistband. The fabric is nice light weigh and I love how around the ankles there is no velcro so it doesn't rub my leg inside of my boot. I got the regular length and it came up higher than my ankle which is normal because I sometimes have to get long. I tend to always get some sort of stain on my breeches but these have seemed to resist them so far. Also, they look great in the show ring!"

"These are a great buy for schooling or local shows! The fit is true. The only thing I noticed is the fact that I must wear a belt with them in order for them to stay in the right place when I bend over, but that may not be true for all body types! I am a small framed but stocky (ex-gymnast) girl!"

"Overall I prefer Tailored Sportsman...The waistband gaps terribly, but it fits elsewhere. On a positive note, there is no velcro at the bottom, which makes it comfortable."

"I really needed a new pair of breeches, but had been having a hard time finding breeches that fit me well. The TS Trophy Hunters fit me really well, but at 140 a pop, I just cant afford to buy two or three much needed breeches. So I gave these a try, and they are GREAT! The fit is true low rise, which I love, and the fabric is a nice thickness that breaths while still being supportive. The only bad thing I can say about these breeches is the Ariat V thing in the back. It just feels like there should be another belt loop in the back where the V is. But other then that, I love it! Get them while the price is low :-)"

"Quality:
outstanding quality-as always from ariat!
value:
CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP for nice show breeches!
Durability:
perfect! (only used a couple of times strictly for shows) but holding up great!
Fit:
too big in the waist but perfect every where else, i just have to wear a belt, which is required for shows anyway!
.. the side zip also hits my hip bone in the exact right spot, so when worn for too long, or too tight it starts hurting badly."

"I purchased these breeches as a cheaper alternative to my favorite RJ Classics Sterling breeches. The Heritage breeches are proving to be durable and comfortable, however they aren't the most flattering fit for me. The proportions are just a little off for my figure: fits through the seat, slightly large at the waist, but VERY slim through the thighs, then too large at the knee. Definitely a different fit than my Pro Circuits. These will be fine for schooling breeches and the fabric is soft but durable so I'm confident they'll last a long time."
